Belle and Sebastian - Working Boy in New York City: chords

 G     D/F#
Pray, hey!
         Em                       D
You're a working boy in New York City
               C                     Bm7
You took the train to liberate your body
         Am
And liberate your heart
          D
You are trying to find a

Home, soon
Always the saddest when a friend can't make it
Love everyone along the way, you never
had a chance to tell them
What you would like to do if the love permits you

Chorus:
 C                      Bm
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
 C           G
Wide is the gate
 C                      Bm
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
 C           G
Wide is the gate

Pray, gay, you are the holy boy outside
the scriptures
Far and away from all the brightest sunbeams
You choose to stay and fight from the
inside outside

Don't fight, make like the cutest owl
and use your feathers
Make like the elephant and use your
memory to pick a path
Make like a sleeping bird, dreaming
of the morning

Chorus:
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate

Pray, hey, God doesn't
care about the way you're leaning
Once you are happy and you know yourself
Peace can come in your heart,
you can make a new start

One day, we will be justified without the struggle
We will be recognised for what we do,
not criticised or hated
Just for the way you are, you will be a star

Chorus:
Listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Singing to the hope inside you
Listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Singing to the hope

Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate
